I remember these “Trump won’t be so bad” think-pieces from 2015. They did not age well.

I’m not really sure if you can apply a theory like this to someone who lies and cheats.

Game theory assumes intelligent adversaries

You can’t apply game theory to someone whose ‘winning’ move is to flip the table over so everyone loses.
